The Saving Of the Lonvre.

withdrew 20 the Louvre, where I es-
tablished my headquarters. The Com
mune had been charged with having tried
to burn the Louvre. / affirm that this is
a talsehOod. Here is the truth: My men,
overeXcited by the disprOportionate fight
they had gone through during three days
in the Tuileries, wanted to burn also the
old haunt of royalty. From II O'Clock
at night till l in the morning there
was an indesCribable struggle between
them-they anxious to destroy and myself
bound to prevent it. Furious bevOnd all
measure, these men, who had so heroicallv
shared my perils and who would have
died for their chief, now called me a
traitor and threatened me with their
guns. Finally jumped upon an artil-
lery locker, abandoned in the cour Of the
Louvre, and, though worn out by fatigue.
but recOmfOrted by a sentiment Of which /
am proud, / succeeded in having the Na-
tiOnal guards listen to me- | told them
that the Louvre had been, indeed. during
long centuries, the sOiourn Of kings. that
its walls were permeated with monarch
cal crimes, and that each Of its stones rem
resented the gold and blood of the people
But / added that the Louvre. Transformed
into an artistic sanctuary, had morally
purified itself and that it was sacred for
ever. The Louvre had come to be the
palace OF artists, those great and foremost
workmen in the world. Instead of de-
stroying 1t, the duty Of the wOrkmen was
to defend it. The National guards under
stood and applauded these words, and
passing from their former rage to enthu-
siasm they almost carried me in triumph.
They spontaneously placed themselves as
sentinels IN order to preserve the palace,
ana the Louvre was saved.-Gen. Jules
Bergeret's Letter

The Virtues Of "sacoharins. ;.

The new chemical sweet is said to be a
perfect and Interchangeable antiseptic. 1t
is not susceptible to fermentation like
the cane and grape sugars. 1t will keep
yeast for years, and preserve Strawberries
and other perishable fruits any length of
time in the same condition they are when
gathered from the garden. It is not
necessary to cook them or to keep them
in vessels hermetically sealed. 1t is also
said to be strictly anti-drebetic, and it is
recommended by leading German physi-
claus or persons who can not eat any
ordinary kinds of sweetening. APP
parently 'saccharine" will be of no value
as food, for it is said to pass through the
organs of digestion unchanged. But as
a COndiment it will be as valuable as
sugar, and as apreserver of many articles
of food it will have no equal.
1t is thought that "saccharine" will be
extensively used for combining with
glucose in proportions that will make the
latter substance the equal of cane sugar.
If this can be done, and German experts
state that it is practical, the making of
glucose will be more profitable than ever
before, while the industry Of cane grow
ing and sugar refining will be likely to be
destroyed. If this substance will pre-
serve all kinds of fruit without the trou-
bic and expense of cooking them, there
will be no business for canning factories,
or at least for those that do not put up
meat, fish and vegetables. This sub
stance will be likely to be extensively
used in all places where freights are
high, as two pounds of it would repre-
sent as much sweetness as a barrel of
sugar, and a package containing that
amount could be sent through the mail
at the cost of a few cents. Chicago

Brass Signs and Door Plates.

New ways of making living continue
to present themselves. The professional
brass sign pOlisher dropped in to solicit a
job from me this week. He carried his
kit under his arm and was willing to con-
tract to keep the brass sign which / might
own, but do not, dazzling to the eye for a
fixed sum per month. He looked as if
the trade was not bad one, for he was
decently dressed and jingled some money
in his pocket. l saw him next day busy
on store front where there are seven
signs and noticed that he worked quite
eXpeditiOusly and effectively. AS brass
signs tarnish over night and are as
numerous as wooden ones once were here,
l should not be astOnished if my visitor
died millionaire.
Speaking of brass signs, how completely
the door plate has gone out of fashion.
When came to New York to work for a
living a door plate was as essential an in
sigma of gentility as bank account, and
shops where they were sold were to be
found everywhere. on the residence
streets of the better class at certain
hour every morning you would see q ser
want on every stOOp polishing the plate up
before its owner had his breakfast. The
door plate was with us what the marble
front step is to the Philadelphian. Phila-
delphia's front steps are there yet. Our
door plates have become things of the
past, found only on old fashioned houses
without pretensiOns to style. Their
places have probably been taken by the
coats Of arms which fashionable New
York now pays a clever Frenchman to in
vent or borrow for it.-Alfred Trumble in
New York News.

marvel if there exists another of human
kind so wise in all unwisdOm, so knowing
in all that beclOuds others, so cunning in
all that is valueless 20 the world, so adept
in all that bewilders the ignorant, so keen
i'll all that blunts and dulls those that
yield to her spells, so fascinating in all
that which, sorted and sifted for human
service, is so utterly trivial and unwhole-
some. In contemplating the gypsy woman
through years of study, l have never been
able to get away from the notion of her
likeness to n splendid wild animal, a leop-
ard or tigress, trained to matchless de
mureness and humility by some HindoO
magician, still under the lash of the black
art master, capable Of strangest attraction
in wondrous eyes and supple movement;
and possessing charm of mystery, of
power, OF suppressed ferocity and deadly
fascination which magically sway and hold
in such subtle way as can only be felt, and
can never be told. Thing of the night and
mystery she certainly is Human, as we
weigh humanity, she is nOt.-Edgar L.

A New Craze in BrIc-a-Brac.

Imagine perfect sphere of glass with
the polish of the diamond, perfectly de-
void of tint, so pellucid that one can look
into its very depths without catching the
slightest ray of color; in fact, it is a
gigantic dewdrOp, clear and wonderful in
its absence Of color, presenting, as have
said, an astonishing contrast to glass.
which Is well to remember, as such bogus
balls are often offered for sale, but can be
told Immediately by comparing them
with glass. Rock crystal balls will not
be collected like stamps, birds eggs or
coins. a ball one inch in diameter
brings 81, two inches So, three inches in
diameter SIS to $35, four inches $40 to
to $75, five inches 1925 to $3.50, six
inches from 5000 to $4,000, and from
here they jump to astonishing prices, SO
that one can be as select in crystal balls
as with diamonds.
The majority comes from Madagascar
and Brazil, while the best known lOcali-
ties i'll Europe are Fredeberg, Salzberg,
Zillerthal in the Tyrol and Hungary.
Limited supplies come from Ceylon, and
some has been found in this state, though
not in large quantities. In the vicinity
of Mont Blanc some fine specimens are
found, and some years ago a peasant
made a remarkable find at Galensteck.

granite cave, from which the discoverer
took over 1000 crystals, the finest weigh
ing about 1870 pounds. The largest was
sent to this country, and is now in the

Philadelphia. Another known as THE

FIlIlng Confederate cantssns

Our men were wretchedly clad, wretch
edly fed, wretche61y accOutered: but Of
this much has already been written. 1
will, however, mention in passing what I
have heretofore seen no allusion made
to - the canteens which our soldiers
carried.
Into these miserable tin receptacles
everything in the way of a fluid was put

the preliminary cleansing was obmitted.
and the remnant of one liquid still clung
to the canteen when another was put into
it. When the form of washing was gone
through with, it amounted TO nothing
more than a form. The shape of these
vessels made it impossible to air or sun
them, and scalding and soaking were i'm
practicable. Frequently, when a soldier
stopped at a house and asked for milk. the
person filling his canteen would be Obliged
to perform the Office with averted head to
avoid encountering the horrible odor
which it emitted.-Grace WillOughby in

Part Of the funeral paraphernalia of
Pasqual, the chief Of the Yumas. who
died at Colorado River agency, in Arizona,
not long ago, has been received at the
Indian bureau. 1t is an enormous green
ash bow, over six feet in length, strung
with stout cord. 1t is wound at intervals
Of an inch with deer thongs, and smeared
with red OeheT On the inside of the bow.
at the same intervals, are fastened tufts
Of bright red feathers from some Mexican
bird. Six arrows accompany the bow, all
Of them blunt except one, to which is
strapped with the customary deer thong a
sharp head Of glittering obsidian. All are
tipped with small eagle feathers. The
bow is Of the best workmanship, and Pas
quail, who had been dying for some
months, fully expected to have it buried
with him. He grew much better lately.

will do all the work required of a feather
duster, and isn't so ugly as to offend the
eye. IN Broadway jewelers. are some
feather busters marked $25. They can do
no more than the quarter dollar one. but
are made splendid and costly by the art Of
the carver and the silversmith. l am fond
Of pretty things myself, but it viii be
hard 10 persuade me that mere prettiness
in this case is worth ninety-nine times
more than utility. Here are dog collars
at $50. Do they make the dog any hand
somer or more faithful? Fond as / am Of
the canine race, am certain should feel
quite glad that any dog on which this
seandalous extravaganza was bestowed
was stolen. There is certainly a limit to
the moral liberty we allow people in the
disposition of their own money, and we
should draw it at feather busters and dog
collars at $25 and $50 each.-Alfred

Collecting Names for a DIRECTORY.

"a man has to have an awful amount
of patience in this world, :" said one of the
unfortunate individuals employed in col
lecting names for the directory whom 1
stumbled across in one of my rambles.
"When you run over the leaves of a
directory" he continued, you cannot
imagine how much shoe leather and 'cuss'
words have been used up in getting those
thousands of names together. I've been
at it now for two weeks and I'm about
used up and discouraged. Why, believe
every nine men out of ten have perfect
dread of seeing their names in the
directory, and the worst of it is they leave
word with their families not to give us
canvassers Il single iota of information.

vices. Sometimes when l am repulsed l
obtain the information 1 want from the
nelghbors. l frequently meet Tartar of
the gentler sex who threatens to have me
arrested if I persist in minding what she
holds is none of my business \ trick
with many of them is to inform me
blandly that they are about to move to
China or Japan, and of course under
those circumstances l could not use their
names. The man of the house will tell
me that he has given his name to the New
York directory people, and he thinks that

A new method Of Identifying criminals
has been adopted in the prisons of France.
Russia and Japan. It consists in taking
tne exact measurement Of the person upon

His waist, the length and width of the
head, the left middle finger, the left foot.
the outstretched arms, the three other

Wives for the Missionaries

About five years ago Mr.. Felkin, one OF
the Uganda missionaries, complained to
Mtesa that his majesty had not kept the
missionary larder well stocked, as he he'd
agreed, and this missionaries were actually
suffering for food A happy thought
struck the king. He gave an order to an
attendant, and in few minutes eighteen
buxom young women came marching IN
with big baskets Of bananas on their
heads. Take these women for your
wives" said Mtesa. 'They will dig In
your garden, raise your food and cook it.
Take them and don't bother me any more.
Send me the other men and viii give
them wives, too. Now take your women
and CO." Mtesa was greatly enraged
when the poor missionary ventured 70
protest against being married in this
wholesale fashion. lie told Mr.. FelkiD
that he and his fellows might shift for
themselves. They had hard time of II
until the king long after became better
natured.-CongO Letter to Pittsburg Com
